I'm sure we all have our stories we can relate to showings that have gone haywire. I wanted to relay this one from when I just started in the business. I believe about my first or second month in the business I was showing houses to a young couple in the Maple Shade area. I knocked on the door of this house and no one answered. I proceeded to use my multack, remember them, and opened the door when a small Benji type dog rushed through the door ran down the steps and down the street. He was gone, really gone , around the corner out of sight. I couldn't believe it. He didn't bark or make a sound. I wasn't ever told there was a dog in the house to begin with and now I lost the peoples dog. The couple I was with couldn't believe how quick he disappeared. This was of course prior to cell phones and I was at a loss to what to do. The couple was very nice and offered to help me find the dog. We didn't even have its name but we searched. For 2 hours we searched finally we spotted the dog around the corner in someone's back yard. Oddly the dog came to us just saying, hear dog, nice dog. I have to admit it was cute and friendly. We took him back to the house and put him inside but the people didn't want to see the house because she was allergic to dogs. It was obvious and didn't take long to trigger it. So we never saw the house. They did eventually buy and I got a great story to tell customers but I wouldn't want to do it again .

So If there is a dog or cat in one of your listings please let everyone know, and the pets name would help.
